We arrived at the pumpkin patch pretty close to our arrival time goal. We paid our fees and with the help of the map made our plan of attack. We decided to tackle the corn maze first this year. As we walked toward the corn maze, we (the moms) about panicked when we noticed that the jumping pillow was not inflated! Hoping that it would be inflated later, we continued walking to the corn maze, after a stop at a tree swing and a teeter totter.
The girls tested their navigation skills by leading us through the maze. I'm not sure they knew where they were going, but they enjoyed being the leaders. We (the moms) enjoyed listening to their cute conversations. After finding our way out of the maze, we headed over the swinging bridge to another tree swing, tricycles, horse swings, and a hay bale maze. Once the girls wore the moms out by making them run the horse in circles, we continued our exercise routine on the pedal cars. Yes, they apparently make pedal cars for two people, just so young children can further poop out the moms. It really was fun, until the hill... My legs are going to tell me about that hill again tomorrow.
We (the moms) we delighted to see that the jumping pillow had been inflated. So, we encouraged the girls (as if that took great arm twisting) to go have fun jumping. They invited us to join them and, of course, we couldn't refuse. We jumped until our post-baby bladders could take no more bouncing... some things just aren't the way they used to be.
On our way to lunch, the girls had to make a trip down the tube slide. We enjoyed our lunch in the picnic area and marveled at the beautiful weather! We couldn't have had a better day.
After lunch, it was off to the playground area. The girls wanted to review their fire pole sliding, swinging, log swinging, and climbing skills. After brushing up on those skills, we took a ride on the paddle boats. Mine wouldn't steer. I thought we were going to be stuck on the little pond all afternoon. Thankfully, paddling backwards worked.
We were getting to the end of the afternoon, so we let the girls pick what they would like to do before we left. The older girls chose the tube slide again and the younger girls chose the jumping pillow. A good time was had by all. Once we were sufficiently worn out and VERY thirsty, we headed to the car. Snacks and drinks were passed out and we headed for home.
